Stability Test
The thermal stability is described by the loss rate. The loss rate was determined by accelerated thermal degradation test, that is, incubate the protein at 37℃ for 48h, and no obvious degradation and precipitation were observed. The loss rate isless than 8% within the expiration date under appropriate storage condition.
-
Storage & Shelf Life
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
-
Shipping
In general, recombinant proteins are supplied as lyophilized powder and shipped at ambient temperature. For bulk packages, the proteins are provided as frozen liquid and shipped with blue ice, unless otherwise requested by the customer.

Protein Description
SLC11A2, also known as DMT1 (divalent metal transporter 1), is a vital protein involved in the transport of divalent metal ions, including iron and manganese, across biological membranes. Its importance is underscored by its role in maintaining iron homeostasis and mineral transport, which are critical processes for several physiological functions, including erythropoiesis and cellular metabolism. Dysregulation of SLC11A2 has been implicated in various pathologies, including iron deficiency anemia and certain neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers have focused on characterizing SLC11A2 through recombinant protein studies to better understand its structure, function, and the underlying mechanisms of its metal transport activity. These studies often involve cloning the SLC11A2 gene, expressing the protein in heterologous systems, and conducting functional assays to determine its ion transport capabilities. Insights gained from these studies are pivotal for elucidating the role of SLC11A2 in health and disease, paving the way for potential therapeutic interventions targeting metal dysregulation. The recombinant protein also serves as a critical tool in developing specific inhibitors or enhancers that could influence its activity, reflecting its significance in biomedical research and drug development. Overall, the investigation of SLC11A2 recombinant protein continues to be a promising field with implications for treating iron-related disorders and improving our understanding of metal ion transport mechanisms.
